This pair of Japanese Satsuma table lamps dates from 1920 in the Japonisme style. Each lamp consists of an earthenware ceramic body finished with a crackle glaze, extensive gilt accents, and polychrome enamel figural paintings showing geishas facing each other behind a bird, complemented by dark wood turned bases and cream pleated fabric shades. Fresh colours remain across the design, and the wiring uses old style fabric cable. The lamps stand 41 cm high, 31 cm wide, and 31 cm deep. Positioned on bedside tables, these pieces provide ambient lighting in an English Country House setting. They sit firmly on low circular timber stands beneath pleated conical shades, with warm gold and cream tones dominating the palette and traditional Japanese ornaments covering the ceramic surfaces.

FAQs

Satsuma pottery originated in the Satsuma domain of Japan during the late 16th century, expanding significantly in the 19th century during the Meiji period for export to European markets. Characterised by a cream-coloured crackle-glazed earthenware body, it often features intricately painted polychrome decoration, figures, and rich gilding.

Satsuma lamps feature an earthenware body finished with a light crackle glaze, coloured enamels, and delicate gold leaf decoration. Original and adapted bases are typically mounted onto carved dark hardwood or gilt brass plinths and paired with fabric lampshades.

Authentic Satsuma pottery exhibits a distinctive cream earthenware body with fine, deliberate surface crackle and hand-painted enamel decoration. Genuine period pieces often bear Japanese character signatures or marks on the underside along with raised enamel work called moriage.

Satsuma table lamps serve as decorative focal points when placed symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or bedside cabinets. Pair them alongside muted colour schemes and streamlined furniture to let the intricate figurative paintings and gilt detailing stand out.

Dust the ceramic bases regularly using a clean, soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush. Avoid using liquid cleansers, harsh chemicals, or water directly on gilded surfaces, and ensure the electrical wiring is periodically checked by a qualified professional.
